Linocut, stamp and TV effects for tattoos
Trash, engraving and punk styles live on imperfection: gouge edges, ink that doesn’t load, printhead streaks or a shaky signal. Here they are seeded effects: the same variant always comes out the same and “Another variant” gives a new one.

How to use it
- 1Upload the drawing.
- 2In Effects choose a warp (arc and S-curve are Bézier curves) and a print style; adjust each effect separately.
- 3Download the stencil: the effect is included.
Tips
- Look at the effect with “Hollow black fills” off to see the full style, then decide.
- The arc bends the design like a banner: ideal for lettering and mottos.
- Very small streaks and snow may not transfer: check with the 1:1 zoom.
Frequently asked questions
Does the effect change the design or only the stencil?
It changes the design: the stencil also marks the effect’s edges and voids so you can tattoo it as it is.
Can I reproduce a result exactly?
Yes: effects use a seed; with the same seed and settings the result is identical.
What’s the difference between linocut and stamp?
Linocut marks the edge more (the gouge) and leaves large voids; stamp has a finer edge and patchy ink in small spots.
